oh yeah, and I forgot to mention I installed LR4, but I haven't ran it yet. I'm waiting to finish backing up my entire library before I run it, incase it "updates" the library catalog and f's something up. Should be done in 2 hours, so I guess I'll just play with LR4 tomorrow (if I find some free time).

My D5000 was bought refurb from Cameta Camera and it came in a generic cardboard box without warranty registration papers or instructions. But it had stickers on the box stating that it was factory refurb.

thanks guys, i'm debating if i should get a used/refurbish lens or new lens. i've been checking my local CL and wanted to make sure when I go test the lens out they're not lying about it being refurbish lens trying to sell it as new lens
